Posting on 500px & Flickr

 My Most Popular

American Red Squirrel (Tamiasciurus hudsonicus) Prelude Lake Territorial Park, Northwest Territories, Canada.

I have been a participant on this photo site for about a year now and I find it to be the most puzzling site in which I have posted my photos. 500px allows you to feature your photos and permits you to sell them under a Licensing feature that allows you to keep copyright but you can sell your photos and get paid up to 100% in royalties. So far I have made $3.38 and 69 of my photos are being sold on Getty Images, a Canadian site for royalty-free stock photos and creativity images for sale. You can find my photos here : https://www.gettyimages.ca all in all I have 113 licensed on 500px and I haven't figured out how the process works for the images being selected. 

My first photo sold.

Anyways I do hope my photos pick up in the near future and I can start to generate some income from them, I have just joined a new site Etejo where I can sell my photos as well but I am not as confident as the 500px/gettyimages where I am focusing my sales. Here are more of my most popular on 500px :

My main photo site and repository of my favourite photos, where I organise all my images and have been an active user since January 2012, about as long as I have been taking nature photos is Flickr. It is on this site that I have been most active and a supporter, PRO member since the beginning even though you can post for free here. I am currently up to 1.7 million views, 399 followers and have 2436 photos uploaded. I highly recommend this site to anyone how wishes to use a photography site. Here are my most popular photos and the ones that have been featured on Flickr :

So those are my main two sites I like to use to feature my photography. I also use YouPic but I stopped supporting them with a membership because they lost my credentials when I was a member. Now I just upload my daily upload but don't follow it as closely as I used to. I find it interesting that my more popular images are usually frogs & squirrels don't know why but it just is the case I find myself in. Here are my two photos that were featured as inspirational and are most popular on YouPic : 

Snowshoe Hare (Lepus americanus) Shirleys Bay, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.

European Skipper (Thymelicus lineola) Chapman Mills Conservation Area, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.

I was in Army Cadets when I was a teenager & I was very fortunate to visit Canada's Arctic with them in the mid 80s, it was a dream posting of a lifetime & I will never forget the beauty of the world up there above the Arctic  Circle .
